Daddy Cool is back! @andy_and_ezra_go_fishing had another superb session on the Severn! Some folks go for relaxation, though it rarely goes that way for Andy!
Absolute Barbelly chaos is usually the flavour of the day, along with his beloved “cheat code” Insecto – Morph Boosted Cocoons!
“What an absolutely ridiculous session on the Severn today.
Got bankside at 10am and within a minute of the first cast I was in. This lead to 2 double takes, a beauty of a double figure and 10 barbel in total hitting my net. The changing weather meant I was soaked 1 minute and sweating as I hold both rods the next. Using the last of my Insecto-morph cocoons that have been glugged and matured for 8-9 months it was a great send off for the best pot of bait I’ve ever experienced. Roll on the next order and hopefully maintain the fantastic start to a season where not everyone in the area has been catching. But we all know the reason why I’ve had the edge.”
Absolute scenes!

Our mate @forderjames wasted no time getting back on the fish, after a successful session at Birch Grove it was a case of unpack, repack and head to his syndicate water.
He was blessed with 6 absolute stunners, these being the best of the bunch, our C.K.O. Wafters fished over matching bottom baits bringing fish to just over 30lb!
Brilliant session James!
